Would have liked to see Ossoff win but honestly
1) he wasn't that great a candidate (was against medicare for all for starters) and was a total stiff. I'm sure he's a nice enough guy but people who voted for him were probably just really voting against Handel, rather than because they believed in him.
2) the big prize is the 2018 midterms and I'd rather not do anything to jeopardize those odds. Having your enemy falsely thinking he is safe is often a better position to be than having them wounded and cornered. I suppose the key word however is safe. Whilst right wing populism seems to be dying down in Europe, I'm not sure its not on actually still on the rise in the US.
